ABSTRACT
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a kind of disease caused by excessive aldosterone secretion from the adrenal cortex, the reason of which include bilateral adrenal hyperplasia, aldosteronoma, unilateral adrenal hyperplasia, etc. Surgical treatment is the first choice for unilateral adrenal lesions. In this article, we report a patient who underwent left adrenal surgery but did not achieve the expected results. This case suggests that clinicians need to further improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of primary aldosteronism, especially the surgical methods.
